'Those first few nights, Hinckley would watch over Teddy from our bed while he slept in his bassinet, just watching his every move in wonder.
'After a few days, Hinckley realized the "toy" was in fact not his and it was not going anywhere. But from the moment Teddy arrived at the house Hinckley was obsessed and needed to be wherever Teddy was and apart of all his activities.
'Teddy and Hinckley love to snuggle on the couch or on the floor during tummy time.

'Hinckley joins every feeding. Generally, Teddy is on my left and Hinckley is on my right, it's a special time for the three of us to bond and snuggle.
'Sometimes when I am not paying attention after Teddy has finished his bottle, Hinckley will quietly walk away with Teddy's dirty burp cloth and I can't help but laugh.'
The adorable pair are set to spend their lives together, and Whitney is overjoyed that Theodore will grow up with his four-pawed big brother to keep him safe.
